    External IP66 / IP67 microphone for Dahua cameras?

    The cameras use 803.3at or 802.3af POE. I'm sure there are exceptions, but almost every POE splitter you will find is going to be compatible with one or both of these standards. If the microphone needs 12 volt power, you need a POE splitter with a 12 volt output, which you will likely need to...

    EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE camera, wire color mapping? to replace connector.

    This is helpful info that would have been handy in your first post.:cool: I'm curious...what happened to the original, attached female RJ-45 connector that was on the end of the pigtail ?

    EmpireTech IPC-T54IR-ZE camera, wire color mapping? to replace connector.

    Thanks for replying. I have no pigtail so your link's method does not work for me. Before posting I spent hours searching. Dahua cameras are not all the same. Some have solid colors. Mine has 568 white/color wiring. I terminated my camera like 568b and it does not function. I noticed another...

    Ethernet connection from a WiFi extender

    Yes, power inside the garage and yes, the power comes from the house, but would this have to be on the same circuit? As far as line of site, the camera would be just outside the garage, so I would be able to run CAT from inside the garage to the outside via the weather stripping. I have read a...

    Ethernet connection from a WiFi extender

    Oh, yeah...big Ubiquiti fan here plus a couple of TP-LINKS in a pinch. Do you have power at the garage? If so, does the power come from the house? (I'm think PLA (Power Line Adapter) which uses your AC wiring for the Ethernet cable in a sense. Is there good LOS (Line Of Sight) between the 2...

    The official "WTF" thread

    Some vessels are powered (propulsion & electrical) solely by the ships main engine(s). If main engine stops turning, everything goes out. Some vessels have auxiliary generator to electrically power key systems in the event of main engine failure. Despite this, unless a ship also has redundant...

    please help Dahua 5 mp PTZ ip cam

    I know that can find. But…We made a mistake, we wanted to disassemble the plug, but we damaged it in such a way that this option will not help. I didn't have a voltmeter with me

    please help Dahua 5 mp PTZ ip cam

    From the photo, you should be able to use an ohm meter to check what pins correspond to each wire with the little bit of wiring remaining on that female RJ45 plug.

    Thoughts on this walkway location - First Camera

    Considered that, too. I might not need to reuse the hole though. When I peeped through the stucco behind doorbell, there's just an airgap between it and the block; no insulation. :facepalm: So might be pretty easy either way.

    Cameras & DSC Security System

    I still wouldn't recommend it especially on a monitored alarm system. Acquaint yourself with the differences in the wiring and programming (in alarm panel) of normally open and normally closed zones. Understanding the concept of a pull up / pull down resistor could also be helpful. There may...

    Thoughts on this walkway location - First Camera

    you could maybe push a cat5 cable out thru the Doorbell wiring hole? and then attach camera just above doorbell to the STucco and use some plastic wire moulding to finish off the look of the cabling.

    Honeywell Vista 20P Shopping List

    The Honeywell 5853 is wireless, the FG-730 is an old model hardwired glassbreak. I added up your max aux power draw and you're going to need an aux power supply. The maximum aux power output a vista 20p will provide is 600ma. 1x ADC SEM MAX= 230ma 1x 6160rf MAX= 150ma 1x 6290w MAX= 290ma 1x...

    I've made two DIY cables and ready made cables. Hard to believe that all five cables would be bad. I've also tried switching inputs on NVR and used different cameras with same results. It's down right maddening but not giving up, something is causing this and I'm determined to find out what it...

    New Member in San Francisco Bayarea

    Have you been able to test it with the same wire you used inside? And it works inside and not outside? We have had MANY people here after running cable and the tester shows it is fine but doesn't work. The consumer grade testers only test continuity. Unless you are using a true Fluke tester...

    Honeywell Vista 20P Shopping List

    I believe alarm dot com isn't an option for the 20P; what company do you recommend for central monitoring? I'm planning on getting the EyezOn EVL-4CG for IP but would also like LTE capability (I see EyezOn has an IP/LTE combo product but I don't see people talking about it. For pre-wire...

    Dsc 1864 slow response to zone closing?

    No changes. It just started having a delayed (more than 30 seconds) response. I just replaced the contact end. The magnet still seems to work OK. Appears to be working as it should though.

    Help Troubleshooting Camera / NVR Change / Cat5e/6 cable run - and how to salvage a bad cable run with at least 2 good pairs

    You didn't ask, but wow one junk system to another :lmao: Would suggest you return the Reolink unless you don't care about night performance. It looks like an issue with the 7-8 pair of wires - corrosion you don't see or a kink somewhere along the line. Or maybe it is the longest length or...

    cable protection, lack of...

    Depends on circumstances. In some areas where I worked, gnawing rodents were a serious problem. Any exterior cabling exposed had a lifespan of weeks, months at best. Had to run in conduit as much as possible. Even exterior grade LAN cable such as Ubiquit "Tough Cable" is fair game for the...

    Dsc 1864 slow response to zone closing?

    Same basic troubleshooting. Try swapping zones on the extender or connecting a switch/wire/paperclip instead of the zone wiring and sensor. See if it behaves any differently. I'm inclined to think it might be an issue with the zone extender or more broadly your ecp/data bus. In the event...

    cable protection, lack of...

    Yikes! A lot of people near us have had their under the hood wiring chewed up and fixing that can get really expensive. In our barn, some of the exposed romex got chewed down to the copper but I never found any fried critters. Our Internet service is via a wireless connection and the...

    NDAA Compliant Cameras

    Awesome! Thanks for the heads up. I will have to look closely at those Hanwha cams! This system I am setting up replaces a dead system right now-- huge benefit to not having to plan out network wiring as it is in place at good camera locations! :headbang: I would not have offered to assist...

    POE ONVIF compatible doorbell with WiFi/poe chimes

    I agree, it's not ideal. However taking different factor into account I think for me it's good enough. There was even a benefit - I wasn't limited by the location of the existing wiring. I think that was for initial setup phase on the desk. This doorbell exists in POE and WiFi versions but...

    Remote/Wireless POE Switch?

    Ok cool, I'll give it another shot with some different outlets. My house is older and most of the outlets weren't grounded originally. I wouldn't be surprised if the power running to the shed is out of phase.

    Remote/Wireless POE Switch?

    Make sure you are not using a power strip/surge protector as that seems to kill the process - straight into the wall outlet. I have tested mine in a variety of scenarios as I helped friends with their system and all were successful. Mine is on two different sides of the breaker box. I tried it...

    Replacing Water Heater Tank in Attic

    Seen that happen many times. Usually it's mice dragging insulation into the drip pan, which flows into the drain, plugging it.. or the condensate pump fails for whatever reason. What amazes me is how many drip pan float switches that are not connected, and somehow the inspector misses it. Often...

    Overexposure with IPC-Color4K-T

    Maybe run two cameras if the dynamic range is too much to cover night and brightest day - like we do camera pairs for LPR / Scenery. With these low power draw cameras, a POE extender / splitter is an easy way to do the wiring for a second cam. If the 4KT had an iris, it would be an even more...

    Wiring POE cameras throughout a forty acre forest to track brown bears...

    Yeah, I'm going to have to figure out the grounding and safety is a top priority. I trenched and installed the 700 foot cable from the solar shed to the cabin and went through all the calculations to ensure we could pump 20KW of power to the cabin. 250kcm/250kcm/4-0 aluminum cable to carry all...
